More SPAM...

thanks MSN and AOL

[Westat1]

Is it just me, or has anyone else received a great deal more SPAM since AOL and MSN have decieded to attack Spamers? This is true of my hotmail account, but my dedicated account has yet to be found (granted have 2 firewalls running). I wish hotmail had a rules wizard like outlook.

Also, noticed that a lot of the spam comes from domains suchs as "att.com, ebay.com and cnet.com" how is that done?

Excuse the venting.

Most of the time the spammer has faked the senders address, especially if you are seeing big-name sites. It's just a cheap attempt to seem legitimate and get past filters based which work on senders address.

If you fed it through somewhere like spamcop then you'd be able to see where it really came from...
